Let's say in this hypothetical situation you get to work and live in any of these fine municipalities, regardless of which one you choose your close friends/families are the exact same distance from you.
Assume house prices/type of house are the same across the board.
Wildcard: As a fifth choice you can pick Maple townhouse with train tracks in the backyard, cemetery in the front.
Where do you choose to live and why?
Leaning towards Scarborough, but wonder what others have to say.
Scarborough = 1
Brampton = 1
Oshawa = 0
Barrie = 1 (default for LNXGUY so I don't have to do it later)
Maple CN rail townhouse = Denis Si

What is the significance of Scarborough being on the list? Not sure why Scarborough is frowned upon so much 
Are you referring to specific parts of Scarborough? Some areas are really nice with great houses, neighborhoods and schools. Not too mention very expensive.
Hands down my vote is for Scarborough.

The same could be said about Brampton/Barrie/Oshawa (all have nice pockets)

I think making this statement - "Assume house prices/type of house are the same across the board." messes it up
BUUUUUTTT
Having lived in Brampton, eh pick another
Its crowded, very crowded. Traffic everywhere. Rain or snow and insta accidents.
Having moved to a bit south of barrie, I would (and already did :D) choose Barrie.

WAYYYY better
There are some nice pockets, but in the 7 years I lived there it just became too crowded, the traffic is just nuts, almost all the time

Scarborough.
I'm always looking for freeholds in Scarborough as investment properties.
Or even Pickering.

Scarborough by a landslide for me. Barrie and Oshawa are way too far out. Brampton is nice in some areas but the location of Scarborough is much better.
